2that thine ear hear wisdom, bow thine heart to know prudence.
3For if thou inwardly callest wisdom, and bowest thine heart to prudence;
4if thou seekest it as money, and diggest it out as treasures;
5then thou shalt understand the dread of the Lord, and shalt find the knowing of God.
6For the Lord giveth wisdom; and prudence and knowing is of his mouth.
7He shall keep the health of rightful or rightwise men, and he shall defend them that go simply.
